Digest of the upcoming talks and Reg.ru promo!

10 jul. 2015

Let us present you with a digest of the upcoming talks that were announced this week. Also we are happy to announce promotion from our partnerReg.ru.

"PostgreSQL as a platform for a message exchange system"

Quite often system architects and developers face the task of durable transfer of messages between application's subsystems. In this talk we offer an example of an implemented solution for such task, its pros and cons, experience of applying the software for real-world problems, questions of interoperability and integration with third party systems, and the future prospects.

Tutorials:

The conference is very close, and we have almost completed presentation of the upcoming program. Now we want to talk about our workshops. Workshop or tutorial - is a very popular activity at PostgreSQL events. A speaker devotes several hours (rather than traditional 30-45 minutes per talk) to make the most detailed and "meticulous" report on the proposed topic. At PG Day, we made a whole special day dedicated to four full scale tutorials.

This talk is designed for advanced PostgreSQL users who want to know more about how the database internally processes a query. It is also ideal for people wanting to modify the PostgreSQL server source code. It covers PostgreSQL network communication, query parsing, optimizer plan selection, multiversion concurrency control (MVCC), and internal storage characteristics. It does not require any programming knowledge.

Security is a broad topic, and this session will cover a few specific parts of it. We will cover some parts of security inside the data, but the focus will be on securing the installation from outside attacks as well as integrating with other security solutions in the enterprise.

Maximal performance of PostgreSQL can't be guaranteed by changes made to postgresql.conf settings or by the simple fact of purchasing the expensive hardware. One have two maintain a balance between selection of the hardware, configuration of the operating system and the database itself: I/O, memory and so on.

During this 4-hour tutorial I will discuss in great detail how to choose and configure the hardware that is available nowadays, explain how it works and what needs to be configured inside the database and operating system. From traditional mechanic drives and various SSDs to FusionIO products, from traditional Linux I/O to setup of the Veritas cluster file system.

Appearance of numerous NoSQL databases on the market results from business requirements of modern information systems that can't be satisfied by traditional relational databases. One of such requirements is an ability to support data which structure is not predefined. PostgreSQL, being a leading relational database, have had support of loosely structured data long before NoSQL had appeared. The feature was reinvigorated by the latest release in a form of the jsonb data type which does not only support the JSON standard, but also possesses a level of performance comparable or even exceeding those of the popular NoSQL databases.

During a couple of hours we will talk about several types of loosely structured data in PostgreSQL, particularly, about arrays, full text search, hstore (key-value) and jsonb. You will learn about their current functionality, as well as our plans for their improvement.

And now to the news of our partners.
